Success Story - Petoskey Plastics, Hartford City

"Right now we're moving a minimum of 50 to 70 trucks in and out of our Hartford City facility, and when we're running at full capacity it will probably be 150 to 200 trucks. Even though we had a plan in our heads, we needed expert advice on the material flow necessary to make that work. By looking at the volume product coming in, TAP consultants came up with different ways to fill up the facility and emply it back out again."

- Steve Smith, Director of Production

Michigan-based Petoskey Plastics is a $60 million global leader in the polyethylene film industry. For more than 25 years, the company has recycled post-consumer waste, putting the materials right back into the automotive seat covers, trash can liners, and other goods it produces. As the company prepared to open a new 300,000-square-foot bag production and recycling operation in Indiana, executives contracted with TAP to fine-tune their proposed production layout. The consultants' suggestions improved efficiencies and ultimately helped the company obtain expansion funding from the state.
